38 West 130th Street, Manhattan, NY 10037

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 38 West 130th Street in Harlem, owned by Beverly Smith and dating back to 1883, has maintained a generally good track record in terms of basic safety and maintenance requirements. The most significant ongoing concern involves recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting, with open violations noted in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all citing the failure to file the required annual bedbug report as per HPD regulations.

These violations, while administrative in nature, indicate a pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over multiple years. On a positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with successful results recorded during ten consecutive inspections from 2017 through June 2025.

This pattern of compliance suggests effective pest management practices in place for rodent control. The building's overall inspection history shows these three areas of inspection - rodent control and bedbug reporting - have been the primary focus of regulatory oversight, with the rodent situation being well-managed while the bedbug reporting remains an unresolved administrative issue as of the latest available data.
